Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain and rapid beating of heart (tachycardia) in young patient are mostly due to arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart).
So consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms in young patients.
So ask him to avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, he will be alright. But first rule out arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
